Damned (Alastor x OC)

Ch 1

Alastor's POV

My shoes clicked softly on the concrete as I walked.

A soft tune fell past my lips in a quiet hum. Taking in a deep breath, I looked around at the blood soaked streets.

The scent of iron was thick in the air. There was not a soul left on the streets, most of them having ran.

The rest were currently painting the asphalt.

My fun is over, it seems...I'm much calmer now.

A deep sigh left my lungs.

Another failed lead...the imbecile who told me he could help me was trying to sell me a child.

Just a little teenage girl.

Adamantly insisting that she was the woman I was looking for. The poor thing was terrified, obviously there against her will. I watched her nod and shake her head, agreeing with his every word.

It absolutely made my blood boil.

After disposing of him and his gross friends, I gathered the shaking little girl into my arms and took her away from that place.

While no, she was not the one I am currently searching for, I felt pity for her. She was utterly terrified of me, however.

After taking her back to her family, who she had disclosed to me she was kidnapped from, I took my remaining anger out on the denizens of my territory.

I need to calm down on the amount of times I've been doing these rampages, because soon I'll have no one left to kill.

And what fun would that be?

It's just so...frustrating.

I have torn this place apart, I've been to the furthest corners of the pentagram. I've talked to every demon I could think of and then some.

A full 12 months have passed. An entire year.

In fact, the extermination was only last week. That in itself gave me anxiety.

I hope wherever she is...she's strong enough to endure that on her own. She's stubborn, hard headed and everything in between...

My Aria...

My little love...my peu d'amour...

I miss her...

I barely even noticed my brows furrow, mindlessly stepping over the organs scattering the ground.

That is, until an absolutely delectable smell entered my nose. My steps came to a slow, and I stopped completely in front of an alleyway. The smell seemed to lead down into it.

My smile quirked up amusedly.

Someone is hiding? Oh how delicious...they smell fantastic, unfortunately for them, so I think I'll be having them as my dinner.

My entire body shifted as I turned to walk into the alley, still humming softly. Deep into the alleyway, I could faintly hear the soft pitter patter of a little heartbeat.

Taking in another deep breath, a soft purr exited my chest. My, this person has such a wonderful scent. Very familiar, as well...the aroma was distinct, and I'm sure I'd smelled it before.

My eyes fell on the dumpster near the dead end of the alley way, and I watched as a little foot pulled back, quickly disappearing from my sight.

Slowly making my way over to the dumpster, I chuckled darkly.
